These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present utility model.

[0052] For the embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , at least one embodiment provides an integrated manipulator device, including: a vertical column 100, a cross arm 200 and a driving mechanism 300; the cross arm 200 is slidably arranged on the vertical column 100; the driving mechanism 300 is fixedly arranged on the vertical column 100 and is adapted to drive the cross arm 200 to slide on the vertical column 100; the vertical column 100 includes a column body 110 and a reinforcing rib 120; the reinforcing rib 120 is integrally formed with the column body 110.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 2 - 4 , in some embodiments, the reinforcing rib 120 is arranged along the height direction of the column body 110. Since the pressure exerted by the cross arm 200 will cause the column body 110 to bend, the reinforcing rib 120 is arranged along the height direction, thereby improving the overall strength of the vertical column 100.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the number of the reinforcing ribs 120 is two; the two reinforcing ribs 120 are arranged oppositely; the driving mechanism 300 is arranged between the two reinforcing ribs 120.

[0055] It should be noted that the reinforcing rib 120 and the cross arm 200 are respectively on both sides of the column body 110, thereby further improving the strength of the column body 110.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figures 2 - 4 , in at least one embodiment, the vertical column 100 further includes a suspension plate 130; the suspension plate 130 is integrally formed with the column body 110.

[0057] Among them, the number of the suspension plates 130 is two; the two suspension plates 130 are arranged oppositely and along the side wall of the column 100; a suspension station is formed between the two suspension plates 130; the column 100 is suspended on the side of the external tank body 400 through the suspension station (such as Figure 5 shown).
